Slipped Away Deleted

These are a few missing scenes that I couldn't manage to squeeze in the story.

"Um sir? Do you mind if I take a few days off next week?" Kate asked.

"No, not at all. What's this about?" Gates replied.

"Well... I'm sort of getting married next week," Kate told her.

"Really? Congratulations, Detective Beckett. Who's the lucky man?"

"Um... You'll meet him soon enough, sir."

"Kate..."

"Shh... No. Don't say anything. Help is on the way."

"Kate..." he held her hand as he continued,"Remember the promise you made me? Please take.. care of Alexis... M-make.. sure that... s..she's o..okay. Could you do t..that?"

"Yes, I promise. Just save your strength, Castle. You're gonna be okay."

"C'mon Kate.. You.. and I both.. k..know.. that.. that's a lie.."

"Rick.."

"I love you..Kate..."

"I love you too, Rick.."

"Richard Castle once told me that I should never give up on anything because someone told me to. I never let go because I was determined. He could be an immature, annoying, ego-titstical, and self-centered jackass sometimes but he would go all out for the person he loves. He helped me find my mother's killer and bring me closure. He helped me find happiness. He has a kind heart and knows the difference between jackass and wise-ass. He's the person I fell in love with. Rick, he... He took a bullet for me to save me and he saved me countless of times. The last time I was here, standing at this podium, was when I was shot. Castle tried to save me, like he always did and that was the first time he told me he loved me. I was so blinded that it took me four years. Rick Castle will always have a special place in all our hearts. He's a son, a father, a husband and a world best selling author. We'll miss him greatly. Rick, if you're out there, watching and listening... I love you and I'll miss you. Thank you," Kate ended her speech and walked away.

"Aww... My baby brother's adorable!" Alexis said when she saw Kate's son.

"What are you gonna name him?" Alexis asked excitedly.

"I was thinking... Richard Alexander Castle Jr. In honour of Castle," Kate replied.

"It's perfect," Martha said while smiling.

"Hey Ricky. Welcome to the Castle family," Alexis whispered softly.

Kate smiled softly at the touching scene of the two siblings.

Kate was sleeping soundly in Castle's room when she felt something tingle on her skin. She fluttered her eyes open and saw none other than Richard Castle. He was glowing. She tried to speak but her throat got caught and all she could do was cry.

"Don't cry, Kate. You're stronger than that. I know you are."

"C..castle..."

"I'm here, Kate. I'll always be watching you and Castle Jr."

He brushed a strand of hair away from her face and said,"I love you, Kate."

Kate's eyes shut then when she reopened them, he was gone. She smiled to herself and cried tears of joy.

That's it. It was a pleasure writing this story even though I felt like crying. See you next time.

A very special thanks to CSImaja for allowing me to write this. This following review was sent to me by message on YouTube:

Thank you guys so much for your reviews and I hope this didn't break too much of your shipper heart.

Note: I edited a few things, here and there. I don't proof read what ever I write so after I post it and notice some errors, I would eventually edit it.
